What kind of people must we become for democracy to work? In a time of polarization and institutional strain, we often look to solutions in policy, leadership, or structural reform. But beneath these visible systems lies something more fundamental—the habits, capacities, and character of the citizenry itself.

In Love, Learn, Play, Akhil Gupta—a former driver equity leader turned global seeker—offers radical yet deeply intuitive solution: real well-being arises when we engage our deepest human longings to love to learn and to play in whatever we do. Drawing from his remarkable journey—from global finance to Harvard classrooms—Gupta explores how ancient wisdom and modern science point to three essential forces that lead to true well-being: love, learning, and play. These are not luxuries, he argues, but our deepest human needs.

Albert Bandura’s ideas about the methods people use to avoid feeling guilty about harming others have led to valuable insights about many forms of mass violence, from wartime atrocities to terrorism and genocide. Happy Meat, Humane Animal Research, and Other Myths applies these insights to another form of mass violence: the many ways people harm animals. Each of the first eight chapters discusses how people use a particular method of moral disengagement to feel better about harming animals.

The Weight of Responsibility explores one of the most overlooked forces shaping human life: responsibility. Rather than treating responsibility as a moral duty or social expectation, this book examines it as the foundation of strength, freedom, meaning, and stability. It shows how the willingness to carry responsibility influences personal decisions, relationships, long-term happiness, and the direction of one’s life. Through clear and grounded reflection, the book reveals why avoidance leads to confusion and weakness, while responsibility creates coherence, resilience, and inner power.

What does it truly mean to live a meaningful life? Rather than presenting Frankl’s ideas as abstract theory, Viktor Frankl Dictionary unfolds them as living concepts rooted in freedom, responsibility, suffering, dignity, and the irreducible human search for meaning.

There is a sign on a wall at LaGuardia Community College in Queens, mounted above a narrow shelf. The sign bears the universal symbol for Deaf access. The shelf once held a TTY, a text telephone that gave Deaf people their first access to instantaneous distance communication. The TTY is gone. The smartphone replaced it. The sign is still there, pointing to something that no longer exists. That empty shelf is the governing image of this book, because the pattern it represents is the story of every technology Western civilization has worshipped for the past century. Something arrives.

Millions of Americans see themselves as "conflicted omnivores," worrying about the ethical and environmental implications of their choice to eat animals. Yet their attempts to justify their choices only obscure the truth of the matter: in John Sanbonmatsu’s view, killing and eating animals is unethical, regardless of whether they are "free range" or factory farmed.

核戦争、環境破壊、パンデミック、超AI……人類滅亡の可能性はきわめて高い。しかしそれを切り抜けたならば、人類は宇宙を征服するだろう、と言われる。そのとき「人類」は果たして「ヒト」だろうか？　そして存続を目指すべき「人類」の範疇とは？

Der Sozialpsychologe Jonathan Haidt zeigt: Die Antwort liegt in unserer Moral – die weit weniger auf Rationalität und Logik gründet als auf Intuition und Sozialtrieb. Moral bringt uns dazu, individuelle Interessen zu überwinden und mit anderen zu kooperieren; zugleich aber macht sie uns blind für die Perspektiven anderer Gruppen. So haben sich im Lauf der Evolution und Geschichte zwischen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen sehr unterschiedliche moralische Intuitionen herausgebildet.

Science is the most powerful method of understanding the world that human beings have ever devised. It splits atoms, sequences genomes, and photographs black holes. But it is also performed by brains—brains that think in metaphors, organize experience into stories, and coordinate collective action through ritual. What happens when we take that fact seriously? In Science and Taboo, Boris Kriger draws on the predictive processing revolution in cognitive science to reveal the hidden architecture of scientific thought.

What if psychology’s greatest problem is not lack of data—but lack of structure? Psychology: A Constraint-First Ontology offers a radical yet accessible rethinking of the human mind. Drawing on systems theory, neuroscience, trauma research, and philosophy of science, this book proposes a unifying framework in which mental life is understood as the dynamic stabilization of constraints. Rather than treating disorders as isolated pathologies or the mind as a hidden substance, this work reframes identity, emotion, trauma, and healing as structural processes of coherence, collapse, and repair.
